Opening Early 2026
at Denny Sanford Elephant Valley
Journey with your guests into the heart of the sweeping African savanna, where every day is as different as it is extraordinary. With three versatile destinations in one—the vibrant Mkutano House, intimate Ona Lounge, and expansive Mkutano Park—there are venues for events of every size, from cozy gatherings to large picnics.
Multi-level terraces at Mkutano House and Ona Lounge offer stunning views of the brand-new Elephant Valley. Your guests may find themselves marveling at the awe-inspiring sight of the African elephant herd as they move in harmony across the savanna or splash around in the vast watering hole just steps from the patio’s edge. Here, your guests will feel the African grasslands come to life like never before, discovering the dynamic communities that live alongside wildlife while taking in splendid scenes curtained by fascinating flora.
Mkutano House offers your guests a front-row seat to it all. Mkutano comes from Swahili, meaning “gathering with purpose,” which is exactly what you’ll do at this authentic safari lodge with handcrafted design elements. Nestled inside on the second floor, the tranquil Ona Lounge features an impressive patio with a view to match—fitting, as “ona” means “to see” in Swahili. Next door, the sprawling Mkutano Park boasts opportunities to gather and celebrate in style.
There’s no telling what life-changing moments you’ll experience in these spaces while you mingle with loved ones, friends, and colleagues alike, savoring every immersive moment.
